Crazy iChat Stunts #37: 2-way High Speed Car Video Chat!
This is nuts! EVDOinfo.com have conducted an in-vehicle iChatAV
video chat session in a car going 60mph to show off the wireless capabilities of EVDO wireless broadband. Here’s the
details: “The camera is mounted looking out the front window. . . .The car, has an integrated screen in the dashboard,
the Mac mounts in the trunk and the car has integrated firewire and usb ports in the front.” Better yet follow
this link to the video of the chat.
Looks cool, but where’s the audio?

Yes, this could be done with 2 cars traveling close to one another and Wifi, but that isn't really the same thing, as someone sitting at a desktop having a video chat with someone in a moving car. I am the one who did the 60 MPH iChat. It was pretty cool.
